[Intro]
Dm Am
[Verse]
Dm Am
It was Nilus Erlandson
Dm Gm
Rode forth the deer to take
Dm Bb Am
And there he saw the lily-white hind
Dm Am Dm Am
That ran through bush and brake
[Verse]
Dm Am
He chased her, Nilus Erlandson
Dm Gm
That longed for her so sore
Dm Bb Am
But swift was she, and still did flee
Dm Gm
For three days' space and more, more
Dm Am Dm
For three days' space and more
[Verse]
Am
Now snares he set on every path
Dm Gm
Where'er a beast might go
Dm Bb Am
But all so wise was the lily-white hind
Dm Am Dm Am
That he could not take her so
[Verse]
Dm Am
Sir Nilus all through the greenwood
Dm Gm
Rode and rode in vain
Dm Bb Am
His hounds loosed he by two, by three
Dm Gm
To run her down a-main, main
Dm Am Dm
To run her down a-main
[Verse]
Am
Now can she spy no way to fly
Dm Gm
So hot the hounds pursue
Dm Bb Am
Her shape she changed to a falcon fierce
Dm Am Dm Am
And aloft in the air she flew
[Verse]
Dm Am
Her shape she changed to a falcon fleet
Dm Gm
And perched on a linden green
Dm Bb Am
And under the boughs Sir Nilus stood
Dm Gm
And sighed for toil and tane, tane
Dm Am
And sighed for toil and tane
[Verse]
Dm Am
Sir Nilus has taken his axe in his hand
Dm Gm
To fell the linden tree
Dm Bb Am
When forth there sprang a forester
Dm Am Dm Am
That smote the haft in three
[Verse]
Dm Am
"Oh, would you take my father's wood
Dm Gm
And all to do me wrong
Dm Bb Am
For I promise thee, Nilus Erlandson
Dm Gm
That thou shalt rue it long, long!
Dm Am
That thou shalt rue it long!"
[Verse]
Dm Am
"Oh, let me take this single tree
Dm Gm
This tree alone of thine
Dm Bb Am
For but I can take the falcon fell
Dm Am Dm Am
I die of toil and pain!"
[Verse]
Dm Am
"Oh, hark and heed, thou fair young knight
Dm Gm
This counsel that I bring
Dm Bb Am
Ne'er shalt thou take her till she taste
Dm Gm
The blood of a tamed thing, thing!
Dm Am Dm
The blood of a tamed thing!"
[Verse]
Am
A gobbet he cut of his bleeding breast
Dm Gm
Right bitter pain he knew
Dm Bb Am
She flapped her wings and down she fell
Dm Am Dm Am
And on the bait she flew
[Verse]
Dm Am
She flapped her wings and down she flew
Dm Gm
And on the bait she fell
Dm Bb Am
And she changed her shape to the fairest maid
Dm Gm
That ever a tongue can tell, tell
Dm Am Dm
That ever a tongue can tell
[Verse]
Am
She stood in a sark of silk so red
Dm Gm
Where the linden tree did grow
Dm Bb Am
And in the arms of Nilus Erlandson
Dm Am Dm Am
She told her word of woe
[Verse]
Dm Am
"I sat and broidered lily and rose
Dm Gm
My father's board beside
Dm Bb Am
When in there came my dear stepdame
Dm Gm
Whose wrath was ill to bide, bide
Dm Am
Whose wrath was ill to bide"
[Verse]
Dm Am
"My shape she changed to the lily-white hind
Dm Gm
To run in wild greenwood
Dm Bb Am
And my seven maidens to seven grey wolves
Dm Am Dm Am
And bade them drink my blood"
[Verse]
Dm Am
The damsel stood 'neath the linden tree
Dm Gm
And loosed her golden hair
Dm Bb Am
And then there came, what erst were wolves
Dm Gm
But now were maidens fair, fair
Dm Am Dm
But now were maidens fair
[Verse]
Am
"Oh, thanks to thee, Nilus Erlandson!
Dm Gm
Hast saved me from hurt and harm
Dm Bb Am
Never shalt thou seek thy slumber
Dm Am Dm Am
But on my lily-white arm"
[Verse]
Dm Am
"Oh, thanks to thee, Nilus Erlandson
Dm Gm
Hast set my sorrow to rest!
Dm Bb Am
Never shalt thou seek thy slumber
Dm Gm
But on my lily-white breast, breast
Dm Am
But on my lily-white breast"
